           Summary: [GTK] Spell check works on selection but it should
                    work on unselected words
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Gtk
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: christian at twotoasts.de


The way spell check works is this: you enable it, type a misspelled word, a red
underline appears. If you right-click the word, the underline vanishes and you
see edit items. If you select the word, and then right-click you see spelling
suggestions and edit items.

For comparison, Abiword: type a misspelled word, a red underline appears. If
you right-click the word, you see spelling suggestions. If you select the word,
then right-click, you see an editing menu.

I think what WebKitGTK+ is basically the opposite of what it should do, which
is what Abiword does.

Incidentally the Mac always selects the word below the mouse pointer when you
right-click, that is why the Mac port has no problem with the current logic.
